I think doctors are only able to diagnose the illness and prescribe a drug to treat it, then you go to the pharmacy and the pharmacist only knows how to make the drug he doesn't know what it's for :hmm: So that's why they work together, this is my guess work btw.

I disagree with some of that btw, for instance pharmacists know what the drugs are for, and a host of other things as such there are clinical pharmacists constantly on board especially in oncology to aid the oncologists in drug clearance, volume of distribution, drug half life, interactions with other meds, peds and geriatrics pharmacology etc etc etc.
Just that every science is so detailed that you need experts in the field. An anesthesiologist can't work as a pediatrician though they may know how to diagnose Kawaski dz. Everybody becomes an expert in a particular field and best concentrate on what they know best, and consult in what they don't know.. it is a shura system not a democracy in medicine :)
